Failure here is normally due to the CPU or system clock POST Determination BIOS determines whether the motherboard is set http://www.bioscentral.com/postcodes/awardbios.htm for normal operation or a continuous loop of POST. If the POST test is cycled 1-5 times over and over either the jumper for this function is set to burn=in or the circuitry involved has failed Keyboard Controller BIOS tests the internal operations of the keyboard controller chip (8042). Failure here is normally due to the keyboard chip Burn In Status 1-5 will repeat if the motherboard is set to burn in. If you haven't set the motherboard for burn-in mode, there is a short in the circuitry Initialize Chipset BIOS clears all DMA registers and CMOS status bytes 0E and 0F. BIOS then initializes 8254 timer, Failure of this test is probably due to the timer chip CPU A bit-pattern is used to verify the functioning of the CPU registers. Failure here is normally down to the CPU or clock chip RTC BIOS verifies that the real time clock is updating CMOS at normal intervals. Failure is normally the CMOS/RTC or the battery ROM BIOS Checksum BIOS performs a checksum of itself against a

it just starts beeping. That beeping is a code that has a error attached to it. Below are some of the codes and meanings from different manufacturers. Thanks to Postcode from BIOS Central for these codes AMI BIOS Beep Codes Beeps Error Message Description 1 short DRAM refresh failure The programmable interrupt timer or programmable interrupt controller has probably failed 2 short Memory parity error A memory parity error has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad 3 short Base 64K memory failure A memory failure has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad 4 short System timer failure The system clock/timer IC has failed or there is a memory error in the first bank of memory 5 short Processor error The system CPU has failed 6 short Gate A20 failure The keyboard controller IC has failed, which is not allowing Gate A20 to switch the processor to protected mode. Replace the keyboard controller 7 short Virtual mode processor exception error The CPU has generated an exception error because of a fault in the CPU or motherboard circuitry 8 short Display memory read/write error The system video adapter is missing or defective 9 short ROM checksum error The contents of the system BIOS ROM does not match the expected checksum value. The BIOS ROM is probably defective and should be replaced 10 short CMOS shutdown register read/write error The shutdown for the CMOS has failed 11 short Cache error The L2 cache is faulty 1 long, 2 short Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered 1 long, 3 short Memory test failure A fault has been detected in memory above 64KB 1 long, 8 short Display test failure The video adapter is either missing or defective 2 short POST Failure One of the hardware testa have failed 1 long POST has passed all tests AST BIOS Beep Codes: Beeps Error Message Description 1 short CPU register test failure The CPU has failed 2 short Keyboard controller buffer failure The keyboard controller has failed 3 short Keyboard controller reset failure The keyboard controller has failed or the motherboard circuitry is faulty 4 short Keyboard communication failure Either the keyboard controller IC or the associated circuitry has failed. replace the keyboard first, then is still faulty, replace the keyboard contr
